| have no sympathy with the opinion that these
Memorial Days are calculated to revive old ami
will more and more promote the spirit of peace as
well as patriotism. If i did not think so, should
certainly be unwilling as christian minister to en-
| courage them. That instances have occurred in
which they have been made subservient to dema-
gogism, may be true; but there is nothing in the
nature OF these occasions 10 call forth other than
right views and feelings. They serve to keep us in
remembrance of the tolls and sacrifices by which
our liberties have been secured and to foster love
of country which inspires devotion TO its continued
welfare; they serve to cultivate that gratitude of
which spoke at the beginning Of this address. aud
which in its highest development recognizes God as
the prime Source of all our benefits since by His
blessing those whose memory We honor were en-
praise. Even the pures patriots of the past and the
heroes of deserved renowe, were but men. and were
not without frailties and mperfcction. Wehold the
memory of all their noble deeds in honor but we
do not worship them. The motto inscribed upon
their banner was: "In God is our trust. They have
handed down that banner to us, and we should let
the same motto stand amid 'the Stars and Stripes
ii will not obscure it will sanctify them. they
wave over the land of freedom and valor Then let
us all men, women and children, assembled here to-
day, join In hearty accord saying, mot unto us o
Lord, not unto u.s. but unto Thy name be glory, for
Thy mercy and for Thy truths sake"

Mr.. Elias Yingling died in this city, at the
residence of Mr.. U. l.. Reaver, on Monday
night last after an illness of a week, though
he had been in bad health for several months.
| He was the son of Jacob Yingling, one of the
early settlers in this section, and was born IN
Westminster, on September IL, 1911. In his
youth he worked at the tanning business, and
when he grew to manhood, IN connection with
the late George E. Wampier, he conducted
the City Hotel for two years. He then went
to Baltimore, where he spent several years,
and then returned to this city again. The
most of his life since had been spent in farming.
Mr.. Yingling was the third child of family
of twelve. all of whom are dead except Mrs.
T. A. Sharrer and Mrs. Samuel p. Everhart,
of this city. He was a Republican in politics,
though never took an active part, and never
held any political office, except judge of the
election. He was president of the Forest
and Stream Club, a director in the Westmin
ster Cemetery Company land a trustee of West
ern Maryland College. For number of years
he was member of the NJ. p. Church here,
and took an active interest in church work.
He was a childless widower, though twice
married His first wife was Miss Elizabeth
Owings, and his second Mrs. Seraphine Gard
ner, widow of Hiram Gardner. His relation
ship, however, was large, and he left relatives
here, in Baltimore, and Ohio, Kansas and
Missouri.
Mr.. Yingling was familiarity called "Uncle
Dick" by many of his friends. He was of a
genial disposition, kind and generous, and
universally liked by all who knew him. He
was particularly favorite among young men,
who delighted to be in his company. The
Forest and Stream camp was not complete
unless "Unele Dick" was there, and no old
gentleman of Westminster, perhaps, was so
popular With the young men.
The funeral took place on Thursday morn
ing last, services being held in the NJ. P.
Church Rev J. I. Ward, d. D., Rev. VIM.
Hammond, President of the Maryland Annual
Conference, Rev. I. II. Lewis, President of
Western Maryland College, and Rev. Chas.
A. Reid, oificiated. The pail bearers were
John Bernstein, &. P. Albaugh, John T..
Diffenbaugh, H. b. Bowersox, VIM. Struth
and Geo W. Miller, on the part of Odd Eel

Gehr, Richard Manning and f. X. Herr, of
the Westminster Cemetery Company. The
remains were inferred in Westminster Gene
terry, in the presence of large number of
relatives and friends.

Stolen Railroad ricket recovered.

Just after stepping down from the New
York train at Union Station, Baltimore, at an
early hour on Wednesday morning of last
week, Mr.. William B. Thomas, of this city,
missed his pocket book, which contained Sl7
in money, 1000 mile W. Md, r. r. ticket
and some unimportant memoranda. He
rushed aboard of the train again, and made
search around where he had been sitting, but
without success in finding his missing pocket
book. He then remembered that q large
man had impeded his egress from the car,
and he concluded that in the crowd the big
rascal that blocked the doorway had con-
federate in the rear who slipped his pocket
book from his hip pocket.
The 1000 mile ticket being valueless, and
also might lead to detection, it was put in a
street mail box in Baltimore, and was col
lected with the mail matter. Postmaster
Brown, knowing Mr.. Thomas, wrote to him
and inquired if he had lost ticket. Mr..
Thomas In reply, stated that he had, and de
tailed the circumstances. On Thursday the
missing ticket was recovered. The money
and pocket book will not likely be heard of

carrol1 County Institutions

As noted in the ADVOCATE last week, Mr..
G. S. Griffith President of the Prisoners
Aid Society, was here on Thursday and Fri
day, and visited the Jail and Aims House.
From his report, we take the following:
ave visited the Carroll county Jail and
almshouse on the 2Gth inst. The Jail gave
every indication of being well managed, aud
looked neat and clean. The almshouse,
under the care Of Mr.. J. j. Roller, is we'll
managed institution. The farm is under cx-
cellent cultivation, the main building is in
good condition and very clean, and the inmates
most of them very weak and helpless, seemed
uncomfortable. The main building is occupi-
eb the superintendent family and the fe'
male inmates. The male paupers, on account
Of lack of room in the main building, occupy a
separate building. It is two story brick
structure, in miserable repair, and with such
limited room that the men are huddled to-
gether like sheep. AS the walls are substan-
tial, an addition could be added on the north
ern side at small expense, and this should be
done at once, for the comfort of these old
men, some of whom are helpless and crippled.

something does not turn up to remind me OF

they are not able to control their appetites.
That is one side of it. Now look at the
